Destiny Deferred: A Love Story

The story’s main character David is a troubled and insecure teen who believes that no one cares for him or ever will. Neither his friends nor family know about the hurt he feels everyday and the battles he fights with himself to stay alive. With this mentality, David turns to pornography and drugs to ease the pain of living a hollow life. But as he quickly speeds down a road of destruction, he has no idea he is about to meet his destiny.

When David discovers he has a secret admirer, he agrees to meet Tamara, the naive, unsuspecting girl of his dreams who immediately captures his heart. David, who worries Tamara will not be so admiring if she knows of his weakened spirit and character defects, is thrilled when Tamara falls in love with him. Eventually the couple is introduced to God’s unconditional love. After they marry, both believe they will live in bliss—until David develops a rebellious heart against God and welcomes his demons back into his life. As a whirlwind of calamity brews, David begins questioning everything, including his faith.

Destiny Deferred is an inspiring story about human failures, forgiveness, and faith as a broken man is confronted with his ultimate showdown—insanity versus sanctification—bringing into question God’s plan for him.
